God is For Your Good
October 9, 2022God is For Your Good
Romans 8:28-30 NIV
Romans 8:28 may well be the hardest promise in all of Scripture to believe. But it holds the power to change your life now and forevermore.
Caution: What happens when verse 28 is separated from vv.29-30?
Verse 28:
This is a promise of God.
- works = synergy
This is a promise of God…for the people of God.
- Those who love him….called
The purpose!
Verse 29:
- Christ conformity (what’s predestined)
- Foreknew – God knows who will respond in faith
- Firstborn – God is building a family
Verse 30:
- Called – those who love God and respond in faith
- Justified – receiving the righteousness of Jesus
- Glorified – full and final healing and restoration

Is there anywhere in your life that you’re allowing what is uncertain to overshadow Who is certain?
